1. OVERVIEW: Common Sense Uncommon on Vaccinations
    by Christopher Rudy, Holistic Healer

I've had 3 holistic health centers over the last 25 years.  Many of the health problems I dealt with go back to vaccinations as evident from electro-diagnostics and classic symptomology profiles.  I have fought the good fight to shift the health care paradigm from "treating disease" to "building health".  Here are some things I've learned about vaccines.

The politics and economics behind vaccines are far more complex than the science.  Three out of the five largest and most profitable corporations in the world are drug companies.  The book, DEATH BY INJECTION by the brilliant researcher, Eustice Mullins, goes into the profits-before-people mentality of this disease care industry (called "heath care") in great detail. 

Consider that John D. Rockefeller, who began by hawking snake oil out of the back of wagons, went on to use his oil well profits to finance 1200 medical schools early in the century with pharmacology at the core of the curriculum (his new "ethical drugs" snake oil)... turning out "ethical" drug-pushers every since then... and financing legislation that led to a legal monopoly, with big government enforcement (FDA), that has persecuted and prosecuted natural healing modalities as the "risky alternative fringe" every since.  Vaccines play a huge role in monopoly medicine that values control of the market (people) above health.

This last year I was Communications Director for Dr. Len Horowitz who has a Masters in Public Health from Harvard and is the leading health rights activist on the vaccines issue.  He wrote the definitive expose' on the vaccine "plot out of hell" in his best-seller called AIDS, EBOLA and EMERGING VIRUSES.  In this book he provides a well-documented paper trail on the big business collusion with government agencies behind the creation of the AIDS viruses in America's bio-warfare labs... and then the deployment through vaccines of those and other genetically engineered cancer retroviruses.  Targeted mostly were homosexuals and blacks (Hepatitis B1 vaccines), but also elderly (flu shots) and children (polio shots).

The AIDS-caused genocide of millions of black Africans by inoculation of their populations with B1 vaccines via the U.N.'s World Health Organization is well known by people worldwide.  What is less well known, but well documented, is that the original polio vaccines were seeded with cancer retroviruses that, like biological time-bombs, would go off when the immune system of the genotypes targeted was compromised or fell off at middle age.  This is a leading cause behind one-out-of-two adults getting cancer and one-out-of-three dying from it.  Cancer was relatively rare early in this century.  Now it's a half-trillion dollar industry.

Of course this is all "unthinkable" and "unspeakable".  It's like saying that Roosevelt had prior knowledge of Pearl Harbor and Bush had prior knowledge of 9/11 "to further their military-industrial war agenda". The parallel is pertinent.  Government patriotism (God & Country) has become a "religion" as has modern medicine; people believe "religiously" in our government leaders as they do the high priests of medicine with their drug "sacraments".  The average elderly American is a walking pharmacy with 6 prescriptions. 

Vaccines are a core part of this "BS" (Belief System). From cradle to grave, American are inundated with official misinformation about the efficacy, harmlessness and value of vaccines. In reality, vaccines inject disease organisms into the body along with heavy metals and toxic genetic poisons that weaken the immune system so the disease organisms will "take hold".  The idea is that the body's immune system will then recognize and resist those disease invaders. 

Unfortunately, Americans hear just enough about the good effect of vaccines to immunize them against the truth of their greater harm.  It's like chemotherapy where chemicals similar to mustard gas poisons used in World War I, are injected into a body with the idea that you've got an enemy within you and the poison is going to kill it hopefully before it kills you. The unfortunate "collateral damage" is that chemo wipes out the immune system, which you can't live without.  Then people die of "other causes" than the cancer which the doctors say was "cured".  Vaccines have much the same long-term effect on the immune system.

All studies show that you've got a better chance of living 5 years without chemo than if you take it.  But you rarely here about THOSE studies because the mainstream media gets most of its money from (1), sponsors of highly processed, nutrition-stripped and chemical-laced "food", that makes you eventually sick, and (2), drugs for whatever ails you.  Chemo is the primo drug "profit-center" that all other drug "side effects" lead to. Vaccines likewise "make a killing" for the big business/big government (Big Brother) collusion that monopolizes "health care". 

With the baby-boom population bulge now hitting the wall of their mortality, the medical-industrial complex has become bigger than the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about.  The most powerful special interests in the world have a vested interest in keeping common sense uncommon on this subject... for population control and profit.

The intent of the economic and political agenda for reducing population is well documented in the Rockefeller and Bush Family histories. The Internet is rife with that history these days.  But population control is not just reducing population.  It's also "numbing us down" physically and "dumbing us down" mentally. 

Since the backwards "health care" system focuses on disease treatment rather than health building, most people have adapted to very low levels of physical and mental health but "think" they are "healthy" as long as they don't have a runny nose or feel pain. The consequence is that the masses are so sick and tired of being sick and tired that they are too sick and tired to realize-and-resist the "big lie" of a health care system that is 97.5% disease care"... and "making a killing" on the indirect cause of disease (foodless "food") and it's direct treatment (drugs-per-symptom).

Here is a good example where the big lie of Big Brother is so big and so bold and so often told that the "sheeple" believe it. The massive deception of this parasitic system eating like a cancer at the healthy fabric of America is protected and policed by the FDA where top officers come out of the food and drug companies they supposedly regulate. It's the old Machiavellian dialectic with wolves in sheep's clothing keeping the wool over our eyes while they feast on "lamb chops"... milking our "light" (consciousness), "life" (vitality), and the fruits of our sacred labor with many adults losing their life savings to care for disease their last years rather than enjoy health.  This plot out of hell is just plain evil.  I've lost many recovering clients to this sick system through the pressure of well meaning friends and relatives who want a "real doctor" to take over.  Common sense is uncommon.

People take their health for granted until they lose it.  And will then pay almost anything to get it back.  Often it's too late.  And the disease care industry, at it's politically correct core, cares more for your disease than for your health. It's corporate law that "shareholders come before the public when profits are at stake."  -Red Lion Decision, Shareholders vs. Henry Ford. 

Take the vaccine industry. It's well documented that the Bush Family was not only heavily involved with the oil industry in Kuwait, behind the 1st Gulf War, but also with the manufacturers who tested their vaccines on Governor Bush Jr.'s (Texas) prison inmates, a year before they were injected into Gulf War soldiers.  They had prior knowledge of the effect of Gulf War Syndrome symptoms BEFORE they inoculated the troops. The result is hundreds of thousands of diseased vets and their contaminated loved ones. 

The biggest fear of the vested minions of the military/medical-industrial complex is that people will wake up to the dangers of vaccines and inoculate themselves against this insanity, refusing this threat to our health and demanding change in the system.  Government agencies are gearing up to inoculate EVERYONE with smallpox vaccines.  Under new "anti-terrorism" laws they will actually make it a federal offense if you don't get your shot.  That of course is under the new "Martial law" guidelines that could follow from a provocateur biowar attack by insiders in the U.S. government.  As said in the New York Times Op Ed piece following:

"If the New World Order agenda is not realized by the terrorist attacks on America and if American's don't agree to give up their weapons and relinquish their sovereignty to the New World Order, the next attack will be the use of chemical, biological and/or atomic warfare against the American people. The architects of the New World Order will not hesitate to use as a last resort an atomic or hydrogen bomb in a major American city."

In short, a healthy skepticism of vaccines and Big Brother is warranted.  They've had the technology the last three years to insert "the chip", an almost microscopic "microdot", through the needle used for a vaccination. Given a massive fear campaign with smallpox from whomever, who would question or resist?

Beware the "enemy within the gates".

2. Polio Outbreak Linked To West Nile Virus - Beware
    From Patricia Doyle, PhD, dr_p_doyle@hotmail.com
    9-25-2
 
To: Jeff Rense, www.rense.com

Hello Jeff: Do you remember July 11, 2002? There were some news articles on the creation of a synthetic virus (a made from scratch recipe) that took place at a New York Lab, at (guess where?) Answer: Rockefeller University. Can you guess what virus was created? Yep, Polio.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the cases of flaccid paralysis clustered in one area of the country, such as Mississippi and Louisiana, is not just WNV.  IF flaccid paralysis was a NORMAL WNV progression of symptoms, why are they all clustered in one area?? Normally, we would expect to see a case here and a case there. Not in grouped in one area.

Guess where WNV was being studied before it showed up in NY? Rockefeller University.
Something is not normal about this entire outbreak.

Doctors Link Polio To West Nile Virus

By Stephen Smith

Boston Globe Staff

9-25-2

Mosquito-borne West Nile virus is causing a medical condition rarely seen by US physicians since the 1950s: polio.

In case reports released yesterday, stunned neurologists in Mississippi and Georgia describe the conditions of four patients suffering from the hobbled limbs, impaired breathing, and fevers that are the hallmark of polio, a disease essentially eradicated in the United States.

Just like the polio patients of the first half of the 20th century, the West Nile victims seen this summer by the Southern doctors are also enduring prolonged muscle weakness and respiratory ailments that will require months of treatment and probably will disable some of the patients permanently.

''I teach this as a historical thing to the residents,'' said Dr. Jonathan D. Glass, director of the neuromuscular program at Emory University in Atlanta and one of the physicians who treated the polio patients. ''We simply don't see it today. That's why I didn't believe it at first.''

The strain of polio that was so widely feared in the 20th century, and now prevented by vaccines, is caused by a different virus than West Nile. In fact, West Nile comes from a different family than viruses known to cause the disease. However, the devastating effects are the same.

In polio, the virus attacks the gray matter of the patients' spinal cord, which contains the neurons responsible for carrying information to the muscles. As the attack frays the neuron fibers, muscles turn limp, often producing uneven results - a leg gone weak on the right side, an arm on the left. It also results in bladder and bowel dysfunction, along with respiratory complications that can leave patients tethered to breathing machines.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, the West Nile virus has killed 94 people nationwide this year, including two in Massachusetts, and sickened 1,963, by far the largest outbreak since it was first reported in the United States three years ago. Although other viral illnesses kill vastly more people - the flu is blamed for 20,000 deaths annually - public-health authorities are concerned about West Nile because it has spread from coast to coast so quickly and produced unexpected symptoms, with polio being the most recent example.

''We obviously have to learn a lot more about this virus,'' said Dr. Alfred DeMaria, director of communicable disease control for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. ''This is another aspect that's worrisome about West Nile.''

The New England Journal of Medicine released the articles on the polio link nearly a month before their scheduled publication, an unusual step reserved for reports of urgent medical importance. The doctors who wrote the articles said yesterday they believe it is vital that their findings circulate among physicians because some of the patients they treated had been misdiagnosed and prescribed treatments that could have been life-threatening.

And they suspect - strongly - that other cases of West Nile-induced polio have gone untreated and unreported. After discovering polio in their own West Nile patients, the physicians in Mississippi and Georgia decided to review previous outbreaks. In examining autopsy results from New York City in 1999, the first time West Nile was identified in the nation, the doctors uncovered symptoms that struck them as remarkably similar to the cases they had seen this summer.

Dr. A. Arturo Leis, a neurologist at Methodist Rehabilitation Center in Jackson, Miss., saw such a patient in late July or early August. He recalled walking into an exam room and witnessing a 56-year-old man who had been referred to him because of muscle weakness. In reviewing the patient's medical chart, Leis discovered that the man had been diagnosed weeks earlier with early signs of a stroke and prescribed blood-thinning medication. The same man also was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks part of the nervous system.

Only after running blood tests, observing symptoms similar to polio, and performing a battery of electrically activated tests that record activity in nerves and in spinal cord cells, did the Mississippi physicians reach their diagnosis: polio, caused by West Nile virus.

Previously, severe cases of West Nile had been characterized by meningitis and encephalitis, the brain swelling that is regarded as the most serious consequence of the virus. But the muscle weakness and other problems associated with polio were not evident. ''I thought, `This is extremely unusual - this can't be,''' Leis said. ''How can a virus, in this case West Nile, change its clinical properties to such a marked degree? It had typically not presented this way.''

The medications the man had received initially, Leis said, could have killed him. The stroke drug could have caused a hemorrhage, and the medicine initially given to treat his misdiagnosed case of Guillain-Barre had the potential to result in a stroke. That's why the Mississippi and Georgia researchers became so determined to share their findings on the link between polio and West Nile.

 

Leis has now seen four cases of West Nile-related polio, one additional since he wrote his journal article. In Atlanta, Glass received a call from a suburban physician one Saturday night in July. That doctor was confounded by the symptoms of a patient he was seeing. She had muscle weakness, along with fever and meningitis. The kind of muscle fatigue she was experiencing was consistent with Guillain-Barre, but that disease does not typically produce fever and meningitis.

''The guy called me and said, `Help. I don't know what I'm looking at,''' Glass said. ''And I said, `I don't know what you're looking at either.'''

The 50-year-old woman, who lives in Louisiana, which was hard hit by West Nile and was in Georgia visiting grandchildren, was transferred to the university hospital in Atlanta. There, a neurology resident, Dr. William Hewitt, examined her and confirmed the presence of an unusual constellation of symptoms.

Glass spent the night poring over old medical textbooks and epidemiology reports on the New York cases. All evidence began pointing toward polio.

The woman treated by Glass is expected to survive but remains in a rehabilitation hospital. The four patients in Mississippi also will live, their doctor said, although three will probably have permanent disabilities.

3. Polio caused by Polio Vaccines
   Comment from Mary
   9-25-2

Like others, I am stunned, deeply saddened and outraged to hear of the new cases of polio. You might already be aware of the following, Jeff...

According to a publication issued in 1999 and reviewed in 2001, the CDC itself has stated,

"Since 1979, the only polio disease in the United States has been caused by the oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) vaccine, which had been used routinely for childhood vaccination since 1965."

And...

"In 1998, one case of VAPP [vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis ] was confirmed. Prior to the change to a sequential schedule, there were 8-10 cases of paralytic polio caused by OPV each year."

I found both statements here: http://www.cdc.gov/od/oc/media/pressrel/r990617.htm

4. Smallpox:  VACCINE-CAUSED diseases
    Comment From Patricia - "Bush intends to vaccinate well over 500,000"
    9-25-2

This brings up the topic of VACCINE-CAUSED diseases. There MUST be a discussion of the smallpox vaccine strategies and how this will lead to vaccinia virus infection in NON-vaccinated patients. They intend to give the smallpox vaccine to hospital workers who will be in close contact to immune-suppressed patients. The patients (non-vaccinated) will be at risk to contract vaccinia. This is the problem with many attenuated virus vaccines.

Now, for POLIO: Yes, Mary is so correct.
There were cases of polio caused by the oral vaccine in Pakistan, Dominican Republic, and other parts of the world. The Pakistan and Dominican Republic cases come to mind because they happened with a year or so.

Close contacts, i.e. non-vaccinated schoolmates, family, friends, etc. of polio-vaccinated (oral vaccine) CAN contract polio from the vaccinated.

There was also push to vaccinate in Madagascar. Not too long ago, in Bulgaria, Roma children come down with Polio. This came after a trip to India where polio vaccination was ongoing. Of course, the Roma people - aka gypsies - are not given much care and concern by their Eastern European neighbors. I believe the children took ill after Roma day festivities and a pilgramige to Northern India where the rom/gypsies originated from.

<clip>  The US has just about put the finishing touches on the vaccine policy for smallpox. Bush intends to vaccinate well over 500,000. I want to know how they will explain outbreaks of vaccinia, especially in hospital patients. It would be mandatory to give each newly-vaccinated med worker at least 21 days off AFTER vaccination. Do you think hospitals will do that? Nope.

I am also skeptical about the diluted vaccine and wonder if people will develope vaccinia. In other words, enough vaccine to cause vaccinia but not enough vaccine to protect against it.

I think that there will also be deaths from these, especially with unknown autoimmune condtions and HCV/HIV, etc., who will die from the vaccine or become seriously ill.

This is a BAD, BAD, BAD, extremely BAD idea.

5. Smallpox Vaccination Concerns

RE: Smallpox Vaccination Concerns

Dear ACIP-NVAC and CDC Officials:

I am writing to you to register my strongest opposition to the proposed smallpox inoculation program as a Harvard graduate in public health (1982) and internationally known authority in biological warfare and emerging disease research.

My concerns transcend those legitimate issues raised by widespread opponents to smallpox vaccinations, including: 1) substantial risks of common side effects from smallpox vaccination to the general public and especially immune compromised populations, 2) inadequate smallpox vaccine safety testing record, 3) inadequate smallpox vaccine efficacy testing, 4) the availability of modern therapies to treat life-threatening complications associated with smallpox infection, 5) the risk to unvaccinated populations from shedding infectious vaccinia virus for up to 21 days post vaccination, 6) lacking sufficient cost/benefit studies of the proposed vaccination campaign, and most importantly, 7) entirely lacking data from no risk/benefit studies having been performed on this proposed policy.

Must I remind CDC and public health officials that the cornerstone of legitimate public health policy legislation rest entirely on this later premise—that above all, more good should result than harm from the proposed vaccination program. To date, however, not one scientific assessment of the risk versus the benefit of smallpox vaccination has been conducted. Therefore, we simply do not know whether the proposed campaign would help and save more people that it might kill or maim. Obviously, this flies in the face of rational public health policy, and presents risks possibly more pervasive than a threatened or actual terrorist attack.

The recent editorial in The Lancet (Vol. 359, No. 9313; 2002) should also be considered in this regard. The editors of this most esteemed scientific journal asked, “Just how tainted has medicine become [by pharmaceutical industry payoffs]?” They concluded, “Heavily, and damagingly so,” urging “doctors who support this culture for the best of intentions” to “have the courage to oppose practices that bring the whole of medicine into disrepute.” This speaks directly to your decision-making concerning the proposed smallpox campaign, especially reflecting on the following information.

The little known fact is that the primary smallpox vaccine producers, Aventis and Baxter corporations, or their parent companies, are highly untrustworthy. They have been implicated on more than one occasion in committing genocide. Genocide is simply defined as “the mass killing of people for economic, political, and/or ideological reasons.” Baxter, along with other pharmaceutical firms including Bayer, is infamous for having committed genocide against the American hemophiliac population through their known sale of HIV-contaminated blood products. Both firms settled out of court for what amounted to economically motivated genocide.

As the attached organizational chart shows (Link to: http://www.tetrahedron.org/articles/anthrax/flowchart.gif) , Baxter is a subsidiary of American Home Products (AHP). AHP, like Bayer, Hoechst and BASF, is a progeny of I.G. Farben—Germany’s leading industrial organization that virtually directed the Third Reich and Hitler’s economic war engine. After World War II, I.G. Farben was primarily broken up into Bayer, Hoechst and BASF companies. Aventis is a subsidiary of Hoechst. In summary, both smallpox vaccine producers—Aventis and Baxter—share hideous legacies demanding caution, if not certain avoidance.

Please, for the sake of millions of people, public health, medical respectability, and the future of this great nation, DO NOT SUPPORT ANY POLICY REQUIRING FORCED SMALLPOX VACCINATIONS.

New Plan for Smallpox Attack
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/09/24/national/24SMAL.html
By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG with LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN

In releasing their most comprehensive smallpox preparedness plan to date, officials at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said publicly for the first time that even one case of smallpox might result in a nationwide program of voluntary vaccinations. That is in part because even a single case could be a harbinger of a larger outbreak and in part because even one case would undoubtedly spark panic and a clamor for vaccine.

<CLIP>

Government officials have offered differing assessments of whether there is now enough vaccine for every American. In a recent interview, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said there was, adding, "If we had an emergency tomorrow, we'd be good to go."

During a briefing today to discuss the state guidance, Dr. Joseph Henderson, the center's associate director for terrorism preparedness, said, "On an emergency basis, if we saw smallpox tomorrow and felt the need to do mass vaccination, we could vaccinate 155 million individuals."  -end

7. Horowitz on the profit motive of provocateur bioterrorism
    From: Tetrahedron Publishing Group, pr@tetrahedron.org
    Health Science Communications for People Around the World

ARTICLE EXCERPT:

"Dr. Horowitz believes that the recent outbreaks and anthrax mailings, including the ones to Senators Leahy and  Majority Leader Tom Dashle, are part of a “fear-rousing bioterrorist agenda” solely benefiting a consortium of mostly foreign-owned vaccine, drug, and chemical companies historically linked to such activities."

"Dr. Horowitz alerted officials regarding a possible profit motive for recent epidemics, outbreaks, and anthrax attacks. His written testimony (Available at: http://www.tetrahedron.org/articles/vaccine_awareness/antecendent s_epidemic_autism.html ) reflected on Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Tommy Thompson’s unprecedented half-billion dollars worth of anthrax and smallpox vaccine purchases, made shortly after the anthrax mailings. Dr. Horowitz noted with suspicion that these exact purchases fulfilled the request made by the chief anthrax vaccine developer at Bioport, Dr. Robert C. Myers, as entered into the Congressional Record in 1999. The mailings, he believes, provided the perfect “wag-the-dog” impetus for the government expenditures."

RE: Expert Sees West Nile Virus Outbreaks As “Bioterrorism”

Sandpoint, ID —Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has called for an investigation into the possibility that recent West Nile Virus outbreaks were initiated by bioterrorists. Suspects include Iraqi terrorists who apparently received their initial stocks of the West Nile Virus from the United States, according to public health officials, as recorded in the Congressional Record.

Among experts providing Congressional testimony in support of Sen. Leahy’s thesis is, Dr. Leonard Horowitz, a Harvard graduate and independent investigator whose thirteenth book, Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism and Toxic Warfare, predated the 9-11 attacks by three months. The book focuses on the West Nile Virus as part of a biological weapons arsenal shipped to Iraq during the 1980s.

Dr. Horowitz testified before the Government Reform Committee on Capitol Hill on April 18 of this year regarding evidence he compiled showing that vaccine makers for the West Nile Virus and anthrax were suspects in the outbreaks and mailings. Supportive evidence includes records from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, submitted to Congress, showing that a pharmaceutical industry and bioweapons supplier—the American Type Culture Collection in Maryland—shipped Iraqi laboratories more than nineteen shipments of anthrax and two containers of the West Nile Virus, during the 1980s. Dr. Horowitz believes that the recent outbreaks and anthrax mailings, including the ones to Senators Leahy and Majority Leader Tom Dashle, are part of a “fear-rousing bioterrorist agenda” solely benefiting a consortium of mostly foreign-owned vaccine, drug, and chemical companies historically linked to such activities.

“An excellent example,” Dr. Horowitz said, “is the Michigan-based Bioport company. This infamous producer of America’s anthrax vaccine, vigorously sanctioned in the past by Congress and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for their untrustworthyness, is directed by a wealthy Saudi industrialist with purported ties to the bin Laden family or their investments.” Bioport’s operating plans were discovered by American forces when they took control of an Osama bin Laden encampment in Afghanistan.

News reports about West Nile Virus (WNV) spreading across America have also missed obvious links to the global biological weapons trade. Dr. Horowitz, who urgently alerted the FBI concerning what he viewed was a “developing anthrax mailings scam” a week before it was announced in the press, shared views supportive to Senator Leahy’s during an nationally televised interview on FOX News last month (See August 23rd segment at http://www.healingcelebrations.com/wes ).

 During a meeting with Senator Daschle’s staff on April 17, and again the following day before the Government Reform Committee chaired by Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN), Dr. Horowitz alerted officials regarding a possible profit motive for recent epidemics, outbreaks, and anthrax attacks. His written testimony (Available at: http://www.tetrahedron.org/articles/vaccine_awareness/antecendent s_epidemic_autism.html ) reflected on Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Tommy Thompson’s unprecedented half-billion dollars worth of anthrax and smallpox vaccine purchases, made shortly after the anthrax mailings. Dr. Horowitz noted with suspicion that these exact purchases fulfilled the request made by the chief anthrax vaccine developer at Bioport, Dr. Robert C. Myers, as entered into the Congressional Record in 1999. The mailings, he believes, provided the perfect “wag-the-dog” impetus for the government expenditures.

Senator Leahy referred to an October 1999 issue of The New Yorker that disclosed that the West Nile Virus arrived in New York (other reports specify Rockefeller University labs) closely following the germ’s isolation in 1937. It was shipped to New York by virologists working in northwest Uganda—precisely where the Ebola virus, known to be the world’s best bioloical weapon, is believed to have originated.

This area of central Africa is also known as the “heart of the African AIDS belt.” Classified government documents unearthed by Dr. Horowitz during a three year investigation, along with eyewitness testimonies published by the doctor, evidence this area’s use in American military medical experiments from the 1950s through the 1970s. This research, he believes, is linked to the origin of HIV/AIDS according to a scientific report published in May 2001, in the esteemed journal of Medical Hypothesis. The paper summarized the evidence compiled by Dr. Horowitz for his national best-selling book, Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola—Nature, Accident or Intentional? (Tetrahedron, 1998; 1-888-508-4787).

The man-made origin of AIDS theory was recently investigated, and rebuked, by the Congress’ investigating arm, the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO). Dr. Horowitz was among a handful of experts interviewed by GAO officials during their inquiry into the possibility that HIV, or its precursor, was constructed by biological weapons contractors during a “Special Virus Cancer Program” beginning in the 1960s. Their brief report of expert testimonies, including his, dramatically differed from his recorded statements. He plans to file a legal complaint later this year.

Likewise concerned about the official suppression of truth in this area, Senator Leahy’s office released excerpts from previous news and congressional committee reports saying public health officials had too hastily downplayed the possibility the spreading West Nile virus, like the anthrax mailings, might be the work of bioterrorists. The Judiciary Committee Chairman countered by saying, “In the times in which we live, questions about our vulnerabilities are unavoidable, and finding all the answers we can is more important than ever.” Leahy concluded, ``I have no way of knowing what the answers are, but some legitimate questions have been asked, especially before September 11 last year, and no doubt they are being asked anew by the agencies that are working on this.''

In The New Yorker article Sen. Leahy referred to, a book by an alleged Iraqi defector, was discussed. The author suggested Saddam Hussein might have developed the ATCC supplied West Nile Virus to use as a biological weapon against the United States.

The article also cited the work of a Russian defector and anthrax expert, Dr. Ken Alibek, who independent investigators, including Dr. Horowitz, have urged the FBI to interrogate regarding his possible complicity in the anthrax mailings.

Besides being a contractor for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Battelle Memorial Institute, and Hadron Advanced Biosystems—a bioweapons defense contractor, Dr. Alibekov (his real name) does sophisticated anthrax work. All three entities maintain close industry ties to Bioport, and according to national news reports, the CIA and Battelle have been under suspicion in the anthrax mailings. Dr. Alibek, now President of Hadron, oversees millions of dollars in bioweapons defense and pharmaceutical industry contracts, including an $800,000 federal grant to develop anthrax protection technology. The grant was awarded at the precise time the anthrax letters were being mailed to Senators Leahy and Daschle. Both Democratic majority leaders are staunch critics of the pharmaceutical and defense industries. Among the committee investigations Leahy criticized was that issued by the Republican minority staff of the Senate Government Affairs Committee in July 2000. It said ``law enforcement, public health, and intelligence officials have investigated the possibility that West Nile virus resulted from a bioterrorist attack but believe that this is very unlikely.''

“‘Very unlikely’? Hogwash!” Dr. Horowitz returned. “This possibility best explains the mountain of advancing evidence in both the anthrax mailings and sudden emergence of the West Nile Virus.” The award winning public health authority believes Senator Leahy’s concerns are extremely valid and politically urgent. “I applaud the senator for working to protect the public’s health, not lull legislators and people to sleep with baseless assertions that deflect critical analysis away from where it should be—on the military­pharmaceutical complex that supplied Saddam Hussein with his bioweapons.”
